This is a cross-post from XDA, and was wondering if anyone here would know what I'm not doing correctly. If this isn't in the right spot on here, please move this post.

I'm new to the development of Android Applications, and new to the forums, so I think I have this in the right spot. I'm trying to use Ruboto and JRuby to create an android application. However, when following this tutorial: [HTML]https://github.com/ruboto/ruboto#readme[/HTML] the step to create the emulator does not work for me. , since I don't have 17 installed. The error I get when I issue that command is: However, when I place the --abi option anywhere in the command, I get the response that the --abi option is unknown. I've tried it like this Then also adding in default, default/x86, and placing these options before the -t option. I'm not sure what I need to do to fix this because I'm not finding much in the way of info on it.

System and Software

Debian 7.4 with Jruby 1.7.11 installed. Using Ruboto, and Android Development Kit adt-bundle-linux-x86-20131030. I've also got most if not all the compilers available from the aptitude repos. If there is any more information requried, please let me know.

Hi:

I'm not sure but it could be that your missing a library. Like you said you don't have 17 installed; maybe that's what's hindering the process?

Programmers may have to deal with ABIs directly when writing programs in a mix of programming languages, using foreign function call interfaces between them. It looks like (from what I read) you need JDK & ANT.

Sorry I don't know more. Best to wait for a member with more experience in ABI & development.

Good luck with creating your Andriod application.-
